Alive 04:43
Verse 1: I fly, feeling the sands of time Flowing so effortlessly, through my skin Inside, the future state of mine Looking back to find, I’m nearing The end of beginnings Chorus 1: Sail across the sea, find another shore To make a new world Realise, now it’s time (for the) Dream to come alive Chorus 2: Sail across the sea, to find another shore I fail to make a world As time goes on, we realise We’re built to fall tonight Final Verse: I will die, with my own fate of time Flowing in my direction, into the fire Inside, the future state of mine Looking back to find The end of beginnings in sight

Ozone 07:59
Intro Section: Your lips move in ways, I can’t think about yet Intoxicated dreams of your touch The silence in your knees, Speak to me Haunt my memories of what could be The madness in me, drift away Verse 1: I’m sorry I hurt you Wake up, wake up this is burgeoning I’m sorry it fell through My lungs are dead while you jamboree I beg you for mercy You take, you take for your memories A whole heart now empty I am the cure for your own disease Pre-Chorus: Stay silent, I beg you For violence Chorus: Open up the death of me, take you out to make me free Of the pain and suffering, broken trees and treachery Speaking softly while you bleed, ending hunger, ending greed Blue was once my colour too, red will be the oceans new Open up the death of me, sleeping silent memories Of the pain and suffering, broken branches let me scream Speaking softly while you bleed, ending hunger, ending greed Blue was once my colour too and red will be the oceans new Verse 2: And serenity’s falling down, I am open to all mistakes There are plenty of dreams to save This is nothing new, seen a couple of billion of you While the others all pass with ease, why do you choose to play with me? I’m the only one, of the night of forgotten songs Blessed with human tendencies, they said I’ll be blessed for years Time to run and hide, all your demons are dead inside Dying, dying serves you well I was heaven but now I’m hell Verse 3: Follow me through your madness, drive everyone insane Don’t let me hop around you, you’ll take the nature’s way Fill every empty grave now, there’s no more young to die The tears you made your mother, will make your loved ones cry Chorus: Open up the death of me, take you out to make me free Of the pain and suffering, broken trees and treachery Speaking softly while you bleed, ending hunger, ending greed Blue was once my colour too, red will be the oceans new Open up the death of me, sleeping silent memories Of the pain and suffering, broken branches let me scream Speaking softly while you bleed, ending hunger, ending greed Blue was once my colour too and red will be the oceans new

Cognizance 08:55
Intro Verse: It’s the sound of something beautiful, that lingers from your empty soul It gives me all I need It’s the sound of something magical, that comes out when the curtains fall It pauses life I transcend into the sky And in that moment, the light intensifies Verse 1: Giving it all away, for one chance to live again This moment once again As I transcend into the sky, the fight against myself Flashes by Chorus: Can’t give away, can’t give x2 Can’t live away, can’t live x2 Can’t dim away, can’t dim x2 Can’t dim away, can’t dim Can’t live away, can’t live Can’t dim away, can’t dim Can’t find a way Final Verse: Crawling for more, these colours in my head evolve Wave me back and forth Make me a part of, your wonderful world To heal this soul

The Unknown 07:47
Verse 1: Take, take my faith Only I, I know how this really feels Tear, tear apart this string Verse 2: Hold on I can’t find my way Hold on for I want you here Tonight, tonight let’s find ourselves again Just stay with me, just stay right till we finally see What lies beneath the surface Just stay with me, just stay right here and Make me feel again Chorus 1: Pierce through gently within (Give my heart something else) Pierce through roughly outside (If even I don’t know what this is) Pierce through gently within (Cover my senses) Pierce through roughly outside (Tear my tears into the ground) Verse 3: These wounds are all you see, now the pain’s just a part of me The pain’s just part of me, The pain’s just part of us The pain’s just a part of me x2 Chorus 2: Touch me, where it feels The closest to dying Touch me, where it hurts Keep hitting this symbol of silence Touch me, where it hurts Keep hitting this symbol of violence
5.
Verse 1: Restless slumber, the nights are longer than they’ve ever been I woke and wandered, just who else is running free Is the future darker, darker than it’s ever been? All the walking wounded, it can’t just be me Chorus 1: We’re coming out of the dark, you’re coming home You’re coming out of the dark, you won’t be alone We can make it a start, just you and me We can make this a start, ohh you will see A new beginning Verse 2: All of us without, a reason to live Breathing into forceful, flames burn through, our eyes pain We are one without, a reason to live (Can we change?) Forceful breathing into, toxic flames (Can we change?) Chorus 2: You’re coming out of the dark, you’re coming home x2

Forgotten 06:14
Intro Section 1: Pass through the light of day, to a place where nothing’s there No semblance or a trace, of what’s to become of this Explosions and shooting stars, forgotten worlds afar Locked in this turbid place, drifting through this hollow space Intro Section 2: Can’t breathe in, can’t breathe out Can’t move away, can’t move today Don’t breathe in, don’t breathe out Don’t die away, don’t live this way Verse 1: Floating endlessly, without motion or a way To find another glass, portal inside my brain So simply tell me how, I can’t control this either way Remember me as I, pass into infinity Chorus: Come take a look at me, what is it you really seek? For I am you and you are me so inconsistently So take a look inside, what is it that you find? Is it all just something, you can simply face but deny?

about

After releasing two EP's, a Live DVD and two brand new singles, the Yatin Srivastava Project is ready to release its first full length album titled 'Chaos // Despair' on the 25th of May 2018. A record that has been in the making for close to two years, it showcases the first instance of a personalised sound the band can call its own. Clocking in around 45 minutes, the record is divided into two broad themes, showcasing each theme through a series of 3 songs. The content of the record mostly deals with Yatin's experiences through the last three years and beyond. More so in detail, the songs deal with themes of political disarray, religious fear-mongering, war, loss, the lack of inter-personal connection, battles related to mental health and personal strifes through the two themes of 'Chaos' and 'Despair'. 

The album features an array of guest artists including Craig Blundell (Steven Wilson) and Bruce Soord (The Pineapple Thief) amongst various Indian artists prevalent in the Indian Music Industry including Dhruv Visvanath, Kunal Singh (The Stage 2 Competitor), Sanjeeta Bhattacharya (Berklee Alumni) and Arjun Mathur (Meinl Drums Endorsee). This continues the project's concept of collaboration and taking the songs from an individual stand point to that of a musical collective. Whilst most of the record has been produced and engineered by Yatin himself in various living rooms and make-shift studios, the band decided to record the drums at Plug n' Play Studios with none other than musician-extraordinaire Anindo Bose (founding member of Indian Fusion Band 'Advaita') to ensure a high quality product. This is the first time the band has entered the studio along with another producer/engineer guiding the process. 

Eventually mixed by Yatin, the album has been mastered by Ermin Hamidovic (Periphery, Devin Townsend Project, Architects, SikTh) who is known for his work in the Progressive Metal genre in the Pro Audio Community worldwide. The sonically diverse record's goal is to eventually make the listener think, and possibly continue the conversation about things that are usually not talked about in society today.
